hoopity do da

I'm kind of in love with hoops right now.
All shapes and sizes.
There is just something endearing and lovely about them.
And I have added a few new ones to the shop.
Wanna see?

The first is this little bitty thing. Just a little something to give to a friend. Can totally be personalized with colors to match a nursery or whatever. Would make a great little ornament or gift topper. You can find it in the shop HERE.

This one came from my desire to have a little something for the boys in my shop, too. Poor things are seriously neglected in the hand made world. I could, on request, make it in girly colors, too. You can buy one of these HERE.

And this one I really, really LOVE. This one is much bigger at 12in and can be completely personalized with name, verse or saying and colors. :) A great way to give a completely unique gift, don't you think? You can buy one to give or keep, HERE.

And do you know what my all time favorite thing to make is? Above is a hint at the before...

And here's the after. A wonderful, completely unique hoho made from outgrown and special baby clothes. :) Is there a more special way to keep those clothes in use and around? I think not. :)

Just look at that face...special to you because of what he is made from and special to them because it's their own special friend. :) You can order your own from the shop HERE.

And for some reason, when I first pulled those little pants from the package my first thought was "THESE MUST BECOME A BOW TIE!!". So from the extra fabric, I made a bow tie.
Just think...your little boys favorite pants or shirt could become a bow tie that he could wear for years.
Want one too? Just let me know and I would be happy to work with you. :) I could even make a hair bow for the girls. :)

And just because I love you...here's a little coupon to get 10% off of all of the above. Just enter "JAN10" in the coupon section when you check out.

I don't ever think I have offered a coupon for hoho's before...and it will be a long, long time before it happens again. :)

I love everything you create, but the personalized items are always my favorites! I ordered my first daughter a hoho several months ago and she loves it! When our new baby outgrows some of those special little outfits, you can bet I'll be ordering her a hoho, too! :)

I just came across your blog, from a blog, that took me to another blog, that took me to another blog, that took me to yet another blog, that finally brought me here. And how excited am I...Your work and your words are amazing and inspirational. Your hoops...Oh my...There are no words...Well perhaps one...Awesome :)

Love all of your embroidery, that is one part of the craft world I haven't gotten into yet... but I may just have to try it after seeing all of your beautiful work!! Thanks for sharing, I will definitely be back again! -Crystalitsdoable.squarespace.com
